A Treachery of Spies

Superb … a blend of historical imagination and storytelling verve reminiscent of Robert Harris. * The Sunday Times *
A Treachery of Spies is the equal of Charlotte Gray in its insights into the period and, I would say, beats it for sheer excitement… one of the most gripping spy stories I have ever read. – Jake Kerridge * S Magazine *
This book opened up and swallowed me whole - the characters, the plot, the writing, everything. It’s the most exciting, involving thriller I’ve read in an age, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. – Mick Herron
[Scott’s] writing is as commanding as ever – Barry Forshaw * Guardian *
This is a rich vein for fiction, and Scott does it more than justice, with this beautifully imagined, beautifully written, smart, sophisticated - but fiercely suspenseful - thriller. – Lee Child
The most exquisite story of heroism, deception, love and treachery you’ll find this year. – Simon Mayo
Ingeniously plotted and wonderfully written. – Antonia Senior * The Times *
A fast-moving tightly-wrought thriller. The destination is in fact as unexpected as it’s satisfying - and very thought-provoking. – Robert Goddard
A Treachery of Spies is a masterclass in thriller-writing. It is a heart-racing, heart-wrenching read, conceived with passion and executed with frightening skill. An awe-inspiring achievement. – Giles Kristian
This is how you write a prologue. And the rest is exquisite too. A brutally brilliant and extremely clever novel of espionage, heroism, love and betrayal. Bravo. – Anna Mazzola
